Magic That Works Per Vonnegut

SAHAM 50 PERSEN "Aku minta 50% saham dari Petra." Senyum Nadia tersungging di bibirnya, dalam hati berharap pria di hadapannya itu, mundur dan dia tidak harus memenuhi permintaan Adelia, sepupunya. "Oke, setelah bayinya lahir langsung aku alihkan 50% saham Petra atas namamu," jawab Bryan dengan tatapan lekat ke arahnya. "Mas!" Adelia menguncang lengan Bryan. Jelas tak terima dengan keputusan suaminya. "Jangan kuatir, saham milikku yang kuberikan padanya nanti," jawab Bryan seolah tak peduli dengan nilai saham miliknya. "Dan, kuharap permintaan Nadia ini, hanya kita bertiga yang tahu, Adelia." Nadia mendengar ucapan pasutri di hadapannya itu, tertawa meremehkan. "Sudahlah cari wanita lain, saja." Dipandanginya wajah sepupunya yang terlihat bingung menatap suaminya. "Pikirkan lagi, Adelia. Kenapa harus memaksakan diri memberikan keturunan pada suamimu, ini." "Besok kubawakan surat perjanjian bermateri, kita buat kesepakatan di depan pengacaraku." Bryan berkata cepat, tak ingin Nadia berhasil mempengaruhi istrinya. "Kamu enggak usah khawatir, Adelia. Kehilangan 50% saham Petra, tidak masalah bagiku." "Tapi, perusahaan ini, milik keluargaku, Mas ...." "Memang benar, Sayang. Tapi, 60% kepemilikan sahamnya milikku." "Kamu pikirkan lagi, seberapa berharganya anak kita? Lagian saham yang kuberikan ke Nadia adalah saham milikku. Itu, kulakukan karena aku menghargai pengorbanan Nadia setahun kedepan memberikan kehidupan pada calon anak kita." Adelia sampai tertunduk tak berani menatap wajah suaminya. Dalam hatinya, ia mulai membenarkan ucapan suaminya. Tapi, imbalan yang diminta Nadia tetap tak masuk akal baginya. "Masih ada waktu hingga anakku lahir, untuk saat ini, tak mengapa mengikuti keinginan Mbak Nadia." "Besok mau kujemput atau langsung ketemuan di kantor Pak Ilham?" tanya Bryan mengalihkan pandangan ke Nadia. Perempuan yang merupakan teman sekelas di SMU sekaligus cinta pertama Bryan itu, bergeming. Kilatan dari pandangan Bryan membuat Nadia terdiam. Sekarang, ia tak punya alasan untuk mundur, menjadi ibu pengganti anak Bryan dan Adelia.

*SNEAK PEAK* "Olivia wait." "Just stop and listen to me..." "Olivia!" he snapped. I stopped in my tracks before I turned around and glared at him. "What the f**k do you want? I'm done with you. I'm done trying to win you over okay!?" I felt my eyes burn as I panted. Emotion after emotions swirling around like a f*****g whirlpool. I hated this feeling...I wanted it gone. The overwhelming feeling of betrayal piercing at my heart the longer I stared at him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to get hurt."

"It's a lot more complicated than that." I shrugged and wiped at my face before looking off into the distance. After staying in silence for a minute or so I met his gaze.
